Fixes format specifies that assume windows TYPEDEFS are as long as they look like they are. Remove calls to _beginthreadex and _endthreadex, these are only present on microsoft's C runtimes. Replace by the otherwise identical CreateThread and ExitThread calls. This actually requires fixes to devicetopology.h, but the problem has been (kinda) reported to mingw-w64: <Kovensky> I see that those KSJACK* structs are supposedly declared in devicetopology.h itself, but for some reason (some of?) the decls that use them aren't seeing them? <Kovensky> ok, it seems that it expects ks.h and ksmedia.h to declare those structs, but it doesn't <Kovensky> the included files declare KDATAFORMAT, KSIDENTIFIER and LUID (and the associated pointer typedefs) <Kovensky> but everything else is essentially inside #if 0 <Kovensky> changing the #ifndef _KS_ to only include KDATAFORMAT, KSIDENTIFIER and LUID (and putting the KSJACK stuff outside that #ifndef) makes the header compile <Kovensky> it solves my immediate problem, but if that happened to begin with there's probably something more wrong with the ks headers :S
mpv
Overview
mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes.
Compilation
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ./configure --help for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
./configure. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX.
configure --enable-* parameters
The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler and linker flags yourself. If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
